They are just sounds. You don't need to illicit emotional reactions in response to them like some mad dog.

truly the words of a great philosopher

Words have meaning and weight, so it's normal to be affected by them in one way or another. However, not all words are worth listening to, which is the reason why I believe one shouldn't pay much attention to words that don't really matter. If someone tells you you're stupid, then who cares? you know you aren't, so why should you be affected by those words? If you read something truly stupid online, then why even bother paying attention to it? Unfortunately people love being angry, so if some words have any sort of meaning to them, people will look for ways to be affected by them, usually in a negative way, simply because they don't know any better, or because they're emotionally ignorant.

shut the fuck up

OP is right, it's all in your head.
the fact that programming comes from weird mouth noise to control how light travels on a hypermicroscopic level that effects the real world is funny but its all in your head, man-made noise. A wise man once told about a bird standing before a monitor, the bird wouldn't understand what it sees, but it can only do it's best which is to sing.
I guess it's in our nature to have certain noise emitate a certain desire or feeling, just like how a bird's singing could mean a will to mate or a call for others.
